Oh so quinceaneras and bar mitzvas are universal. Was not aware.
nah having those lists is good to have
You probably know that the 91st Academy Awards were held in LA last night, with a whole host of stars attending, sharing backstage selfies and hitting the after parties.
There were also a whole host of awkward moments, including Rami Malek falling off the stage after winning his award.
However, people noticed a much more awkward moment from a red carpet interview between Ashley Graham and Jason Momoa.
The interview was going well until Ashley asked Jason to perform a move from the Haka — a traditional Māori dance.
Omg @ashleygraham got shut down! Go Lisa Bonet having her husband’s back #theoscars #interview #jasonmamoa #lisabonet #savage #oscars #OscarRedCarpet
The dance is indigenous to New Zealand and originated from Eastern Polynesian culture. Jason is from Hawaii — part of the Polynesian triangle. He performed the dance at the Aquaman premiere as a nod to all the parts of the New Zealand culture that had been incorporated into the movie.
"I gotta get a Haka move," Ashely said, bouncing on the spot, "Like, one Haka move, come on!"
At this point, Jason's wife, Lisa Bonet, stepped in and attempted to shut down the request. While her comment was inaudible, Lisa shook her head and held out her hand, motioning Ashley to stop.
However, Ashley did manage to get Jason to make one of the facial expressions from the dance, yelling: "Yes!" as he did it...
Before imitating him.
Lisa, meanwhile, didn't look amused but put her arm around Jason.
People immediately took to Twitter to call the whole exchange "awkward" and "cringeworthy."
Some found it uncomfortable that Ashely had asked a person of colour to dance for her.
Others said that "culture is not entertainment."
And that it was culturally insensitive and inappropriate.
Some raised the fact he'd performed the Haka at the Aquamanpremiere, and so didn't see the problem.
However, others said that it had been Jason's choice to perform at the premiere.
While others praised Lisa Bonet for attempting to stop the situation.
Spokespersons for Ashley Graham and Jason Momoa have been contacted for comment.
i kinda doGoing through this thread some of yall are more prejudice that rednecks in Mississippi. It's like yall want the world to be segregated.
But what has really riled critics is that Kardashian appears to have trademarked the word "kimono." According to Business Insider, a search of the online database for the United States Patent and Trademark Office revealed that Kimono Intimates Inc. applied to trademark a specific font version of the word.
Originating in the Hakuhō (Early Nara) period (645-710), the kimono is an ankle-length gown with long, wide sleeves and a V- neck. With neither ties nor buttons, it is tied left over right across the chest and secured at the waist with a broad sash called an an obi.

The reaction has been far from positive, with many expressing their disapproval using the hashtag #KimOhNo.
San Francisco-based Yuka Ohishi, who tweeted about the controversy, told CNN: "I was not very pleased by companies using the word kimono to market beach cover-ups and robes. And then Kim Kardashian went to a whole new level by simply using the word as a pun. Her line is not at all inspired by the Japanese kimono, pays no respect.
Name one place on the planet where white colonizers have gone, with their leaving the indigenous people of that land in a better place mentally, physically or spiritually. Name... just...one. After you do that, then state why the world would not be better off, without their influence.Going through this thread some of yall are more prejudice that rednecks in Mississippi.

Answer the question. Name one place white colonizers have gone, with their leaving the indigenous people of that land, in a better place. Don’t give me whataboutism’s. White supremacy is real, then has been the downfall of every progressive civilization since the 1400’s.See, your problem is you just thinking about white people...
No such thing

People naturally segregate themselves.
